UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on Spike TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.
A rumored matchup between top-contenders Cheick Kongo and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will likely be moved from UFC 79 in late-December to an early-2008 card reports Fox Sports:
With UFC running so many shows, it made sense to try and shore up another show with a main-event caliber match. The Las Vegas show already has two championship matches (Matt Serra vs. Matt Hughes at welterweight, and a lightweight title match with B.J. Penn facing either Sean Sherk or Joe Stevenson), along with the strong possibility of a Wanderlei Silva vs. Chuck Liddell match.
UFC has a January show scheduled for Newcastle, England, and a Super Bowl weekend show set for Las Vegas, and Nogueira vs. Kongo will likely take place on one of those dates. In addition, there have been negotiations for a January show in Montreal, but that isn’t finalized.
If true, this sucks. UFC 79 will still be a great card but I was really hoping to see Big Nog fight as well. Guess we'll have to wait a while until he fights Kongo.
Yeah it sucks that we have to wait, but I guess its all for the best. UFC 79 will still be a monster card without them and it gives a lot of potential to UFC 80 as well.

The most solid advice I can give to anyone who fights BJ Penn is...do not motivate the guy. Lets face it, BJ although talented, is naturally lazy. Your job is to NOT convince him to step on that treadmill.
This has got to mean that Randy will have another fight before the winner of Nogueira Vs Kongo gets the title shot, or else we will have a Serra-like pacifist marathon reign in the HW division too.
I don't want Sylvia to get the next title shot.......i don't know about you guys but im sick of watching him fight for the title or defending th title.......i want Fedor Vs Randy or Nog Vs Randy or Kongo and Randy.....Or Arlovski and Randy

^^^^ i can't wait to see Arlovski fight again(as his old self)
yah at least if he were to fight any of the above
he would be forced to press on
there is no duck and cover with those two opponents
